I’m Griffin Reed—cutthroat entrepreneur and competitive bastard. Trust is a four-letter word and everyone is disposable…except Britta Stone. Three years ago, she was my everything before I stupidly threw her away. I thought I’d paid for my sin in misery—until I learned we have a son. Finding out she’s engaged to a bore who’s rushing her to the altar pisses me off even more. I intend to win her back and raise our boy. I’ll have to get ruthless, of course. Luckily, that’s one of my most singular talents.
Sixty days. That’s what I’m asking the gritty, independent single mother to give me—twenty-four/seven. Under my roof. And if I have my way, in my bed. Britta says she wants nothing to do with me. But her body language and passionate kisses make her a liar. Now all I have to do is coax her into surrendering to the old magic between us. Once I have her right where I want her, I’ll do whatever it takes to prove I more than need her.
This book is the second in the More Than Words series. The books are companions, not serials, meaning that backstory, secondary characters, and other elements will be easier to relate to if you read the installments in order, but the main romance of each book is a stand-alone.This book contains lines that may make you laugh, events that may make you cry, and scenes that will probably have you squirming in your seat. Don’t worry about cliffhangers. HEA guaranteed! (Does not contain elements of BDSM or romantic suspense.)

Shayla Black is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than fifty novels. For nearly twenty years, she’s written contemporary, erotic, paranormal, and historical romances via traditional, independent, foreign, and audio publishers.

Raised an only child, Shayla occupied herself with lots of daydreaming, much to the chagrin of her teachers. In college, she found her love for reading and realized that she could have a career publishing the stories spinning in her imagination.

Since the night of her
brutal attack and unwilling transformation to vampire, Merit’s stood as
Sentinel and protector of Chicago’s Cadogan House. She's saved the Windy
City from the forces of darkness time and again with her liege and
lover, Ethan Sullivan, by her side.

When the House is infiltrated
and Merit is attacked by a vampire seemingly under the sway of dark
magic, Merit and Ethan realize the danger is closer than they could have
ever imagined. As a malign sorcery spreads throughout the city, Merit
must go to war against supernatural powers beyond her comprehension.
It’s her last chance to save everything—and everyone—she loves.

“Forever.”
Enter the final chapter to the epic journey we have been taken on
with The Chicagoland Vampires...

When
we left Ethan and Merit, they were preparing for their nuptials and
forever loving one another. The night before the big “night”
Merit is attacked by a crazed vampire in her own home. This is no
ordinary or small incident, and it opens up an old problem to the
soon to be newlyweds. Instead of happily ever after, Ethan and Merit
are about to face a big fight that is threatening to destroy Chicago
and all it's residents. Magic is a fickle bitch and Mallory, along
with her cute as ever hubby Catcher, come charging in for the rescue.
What better way to close out this series than to have Merit fight
side by side with her witch bestie Mallory? As Cadogan House prepares
for battle, they are pleasantly surprised who comes out of the wood
work to help. All the while, Ethan and Merit struggle with Gabriel's
vision of them baring a child. Without a gleam of hope of that ever
happening, they must face the reality that the prophecy Gabriel once
told them would never come to pass, and that they may not survive
this new threat.

Coming
in knowing this was going to be the last book, every sentimental
scene I read had me in tears. Sharing the special moments between
friends, and lovers, ones that I will never read about anymore felt
like home but had me on edge knowing we were going to part ways. The
story line and plot were well done with wrapping up the series, the
ending fell flat for me as far the battle. The build up to the
challenge was so gripping but then it just ended with a poof instead
of a BANG! But I do have to say the epilogue was tremendously
adorable and satisfying, which may have made up for the slightly
disappointing ending.

Death has come to
Le-Ath Veronis. A would-be assassin, aiming at Lissa, kills someone
close to her instead. A price has been placed on Lissa's head by Black
Mist, an assassin's guild who have been paid by a reassembled Solar Red.
Throw in a spin-off religion, betrayal, a misguided kidnapping and the
Five-Year Conclave for the Reth Alliance, and you have the seeds of war.

Queen
Lissa is in for a bloody and emotional war, is she prepared?

Situations
have been building up to an impeding war, and something more with
Lissa, and now the other shoe has finally dropped. With so much
conflict spanning over many different planets, how is Lissa supposed
to keep order?! Her power is mighty but she is only one, the one that
was meant to calm all the chaos...but how?

From
the moment we found out Lissa was more than a vampire and had a
seriously outrageous destiny, I knew nothing but trouble was coming.
From the time Lissa was born she has had nothing but heart ache, pain
and suffering at the hands of “loved ones”, even now, as Queen,
she is still forced to eat shit. I've had to suffer in silence over
the injustice that has befallen my friend Lissa over the eight books
in this series so far and my heart has just about given up on hope.
Lissa's father is at the heart of all her woes, and he is on
everyone's shit list now a days. When Lissa finally reaches that
emotional point of despair, that is when she will discover and
unleash the ultimate power she's been capable of, and that is when
all the wrongs will be righted, or she'll just say fuck it and be
gone! Either way, look out enemies of my enemy.

The
upcoming war, and Lissa's future has me on pins and needles, and if
it wasn't for life getting in the way, I would be binge listening to
the very last book. I can't even begin to imagine how Lissa's story
will end, but man ol' man, if I know this author, it will be a doozie!
Strap on your big girl panties, cause heads will roll!

Have you ever fallen in love with a book boyfriend? Naomi Douglas did.From the moment Naomi met Joe, she claimed him as her own. Depressed and lonely, Naomi’s fascination with Joe quickly turns to obsession.

Naomi
Douglas lives a sad and mundane life, divorced, distant from her
parents and her only sibling lives in another country. She has no one
but the books she edits for a living, and Joseph her fictional
boyfriend. As Naomi continues to get deeper into this author's world,
Joe is becoming more and more real to her. Is she going crazy or has
Naomi stumbled onto something magical and beyond her wildest dreams?

Naomi
has fallen into a fantasy trap that we all have from time to time,
wishing that the man in a romance novel we were reading was real.
They are always written to fit the heroine like a glove. They know
just what to say, when to say it, and are unbelievably gorgeous. But
Naomi's broken and lonely heart allows her imagination to take it
further than ever before. She begins re-writing another authors work
for her own personal happiness. She writes herself in as the heroine,
and Joe is her lover. At first she tells herself that it's just to
help her start writing her own work again, but we all know that's not
what's going on here. When her desires begin to collide with reality,
that is when the real fun begins.

Naomi
is a truly relateable character. I can't tell you how many book
boyfriends I have fantasized about, and wished that they were real,
or that they could be real. In my case that would be never because
they are always vampires or shifters, lol. At times I felt like I was
walking in Naomi's shoes! The similarities were uncanny, which made
parts of the book hard for me to read. Joe's character was designed
to be ideal and he was. He could melt the panties off of any woman!
The conflict between Naomi and her mother and sister were spot on for
how most mothers and daughters get along, that's for sure. Each
character involved played a crucial role for Naomi's story and they
played them very well.

The
story was fantastic! It was original, and God help me it was too
close for comfort at times for me. Sometimes I did feel like the
author had jumped into my brain and plucked out my deepest darkest
desires. The only “spoiler” I will reveal is that it has a
cliffhanger. I loath cliffhangers, but if I didn't then that would
mean I didn't enjoy the book, and I loved it!

I’m Maxon Reed—real estate mogul, shark, asshole. If a deal isn’t high profile and big money, I pass. Now that I’ve found the property of a lifetime, I’m jumping. But one tenacious bastard stands between me and success—my brother. I’ll need one hell of a devious ploy to distract cynical Griff. Then fate drops a luscious redhead in my lap who’s just his type.
College senior Keeley Kent is broke enough to accept a pretty penny while I teach her to be Griff’s perfect girlfriend. But somewhere between the makeover and the witty conversation, I’m having trouble resisting her. The quirky dreamer is everything I usually don’t tolerate. But she’s beyond charming. I more than want her; I’m desperate to own her. I’m not even sure how drastic I’m willing to get to make her mine—but I’mabout to find out.
